Agreed with all the points here except the final sentence. Although technically true and feasible, most TV sets are not configured with that kind of resolution but set at 1080p max. So although the consoles may be capable of such resolutions, the outputs will not be there. Let's remember the 10x increase from the PS2 era to the PS3 while the resolutions increased only within the feasible range from 480p to 720p at the time. The TV standardization is a very slow process. The standard 1080p TVs have been available for almost a decade but only gaining traction in the last few years. There is no certain standard resolution over 1080p right now other than 4K, and we need at least 10+ years to follow that kind of performance.
My point is, the next gen will either go 1080p or 4K (given current trends), and there is no way 4K will be feasible by then.

4k is already upon us and getting cheaper every day, QHD has been with us for donkey's years.
Console generations take a long ass time.
And there is benefit to running games at QHD/4k even on a 1080P panel thanks to downsampling.
So we will have to agree to disagree on this one, there were movements for a shift to 2k/4k before this generation started.

Excellent remark! Contrary to nowadays where downsampling from 1080p to 720p is not perfect,from 4K to 1080P downsampling will be perfect so even 1080p TV owners will benefit from 4K.
It's going to be 4K people! Listen to me:
We can already do 4k@30fps (locked) with several typical 3D multiplatform games (Batman & NFS) with a mere 4 tflops card...
Also vita 2 will have a native 1080p screen and every PS5 games will be perfectly downsampled via remote play on the vita 2 (4K -> 1080p) like PS4 is perfectly dowsampled to Vita now (1080p -> 540p).
